Mexican catering for your event in Chartham Hatch
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. At christenings and family parties and garden parties, we can serve burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos and more.
In a rural place like Chartham Hatch, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
FAQs for Chartham Hatch
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Which station is closest to Chartham Hatch?
Guests can use Chartham station, about 1 mile south of Chartham Hatch.
Do you cater for big events?
That depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we will plan around them.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, but we cannot promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
Do you serve in the rain?
Rain does not stop service from the hatch. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.

Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
The menu, item by item
Build-your-own taco bar
Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with warm tortillas to fill. Everyone builds their own.
Loaded nachos
Loaded nachos are perfect for sharing, whether as a starter or a late bite. Dairy-free versions can be planned.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Chartham Hatch until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
